Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.154 Interpreting Scatter Plots Strength, Clusters, and Outliers skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Hard
A scatter plot contains these points: (2, 4); (2, 5); (4, 3); (8, 12); (9, 12); (9, 14); (13, 3); (14, 5); (15, 4). Which student's claim is correct?
AZane: The graph shows one strong positive trend.
BAva: The graph shows one cluster and two outliers.
CBen: The graph shows no groups at all.
DYara: The graph shows three clusters around x = 2 to 4 and y = 3 to 5, around x = 8 to 9 and y = 12 to 14, and around x = 13 to 15 and y = 3 to 5.
Solution & Explanation:The points are separated into three groups: around x = 2 to 4 and y = 3 to 5, around x = 8 to 9 and y = 12 to 14, and around x = 13 to 15 and y = 3 to 5.
Problem 2Difficulty: Hard
A class examined the scatter plot points (1, 11); (2, 2); (3, 16); (4, 14); (5, 5); (6, 8); (7, 6); (8, 10). Which student's idea is best supported?
AElla: The graph shows a strong positive association.
BHugo: The graph shows two clusters with an outlier.
CFinn: The graph shows a weak negative association.
DGrace: The graph does not show a clear association.
Solution & Explanation:The points do not rise or fall in a consistent way, so the scatter plot does not show a clear association.
Problem 3Difficulty: Hard
A scatter plot contains these points: (1, 13); (2, 12); (2, 13); (3, 13); (11, 2); (12, 3); (13, 1); (13, 3). Which student's claim is correct?
AKira: There is one cluster in the center of the graph.
BNoah: The plot has an outlier and no clusters.
CLeo: There are two clusters, one around x = 1 to 3 and y = 12 to 13 and one around x = 11 to 13 and y = 1 to 3.
DMaya: The points make a strong positive line.
Solution & Explanation:The data clearly gather into two separated groups: one around x = 1 to 3 and y = 12 to 13 and one around x = 11 to 13 and y = 1 to 3.
